"Hold on to Your HOPE!"

 

“Hold on to Your HOPE!”

 

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.    Hebrews 10:23

 

Our HOPE is in the REDEMPTIVE WORK of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, who SHED His OWN BLOOD on an OLD, RUGGED, ROMAN CROSS, in order for MANKIND to have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with our HEAVENLY FATHER, God, who is FAITHFUL in ALL His Ways and in the KEEPING of His PROMISES.  And WHATEVER He PROMISES He will do! 

 

When we come to Him for the SALVATION of our SOUL, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, He CLEANSES our HEART and DELIVERS us from an EVIL CONSCIENCE.  And when the inside is CLEANSED, then we can CLEAN-UP the OUTSIDE, in order to be an OUTWARD WITNESS of an INWARD CHANGE.  Our HEART should have FULL ASSURANCE of our FAITH in CHRIST.  And we can have the ASSURANCE that GOD KEEPS HIS PROMISES.  

 

One of the PROMISES is that His Son, Jesus, will RETURN, to get ALL of God’s TRUE CHILDREN, those who have TRULY GIVEN their HEARTS and LIVES to Him, and to take us to our ETERNAL INHERITANCE, HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS.  But, until He comes, we are to ENCOURAGE and MOTIVATE one another, with acts of LOVE and GOOD WORKS as an expression of our RELATIONSHIP with our HEAVENLY FATHER, and we are NOT to NEGLECT our meeting together, because there is STRENGTH in numbers, and when we GATHER together our FAITH, HOPE and LOVE are STRENGTHENED, and we can STAY HOPEFUL, and ENCOURAGED until the Day of JESUS’ RETURN.  And it COULD be ANY DAY, maybe TODAY!!  Are you READY?

 

You can be READY for His RETURN, if you will STOP RUNNING FROM GOD, and REJECTING His Gift of SALVATION.  If you have NOT given your HEART and LIFE to Him, then your DESTINY is an ETERNITY in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS, and NO WAY to ESCAPE, after you are there.  I am COMPELLED to tell you this, because there is HOPE for a MUCH BETTER DESTINY, IF you have a RIGHT RELATIONSHIP with GOD.  And the ONLY WAY to do that is through His Son, the LORD JESUS CHRIST.  You MUST COME to Him, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART, CONFESS your sins to Him and ask Him for His FORGIVENESS.  BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART, that JESUS died for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you, before God.  You MUST BE WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM your sinful life-style, and you MUST ACCEPT His Gift of SALVATION and HOLD ON to your HOPE of an ETERNITY in HEAVEN, with ALL its BLESSINGS. 

And REMEMBER to GO to CHURCH and GATHER with other BELIEVERS, and ENCOURAGE each other with LOVE and GOOD WORKS, until the Day of the LORD’S RETURN.  Do this NOW, while you still can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!
